{hair how-to: sexy & tousled}

. . . before dashing out the door with a latte and mile-long to-do list, a very favourite way to wear my hair {besides a chignon, of course!} is in soft, loose waves, a little tousled, a little sexy and a little '70s -- wonderful for the work-week, but especially so for the weekend, but whether it's a downtown lunch meeting or a late sunday brunch, it's always perfect for breezy april days . . .

t w omassage volume & body mousse through the roots, then blow-dry hair smooth, using a large round brush if your hair is naturally curly, or a paddle brush if your hair is naturally straight

t h r e efor body, you can use hot rollers, velcro rollers, or a large curling iron; for a curling iron, randomly twist slices of hair around the barrel and carefully pin up until cool, and you're set for any of the sexy, tousled styles below...

e a s y t w i s ta ponytail on top, pulled up in the back, then turned over on itself like a bun--but only half done; one elastic band (and a couple of pins if your hair is really thick) should do the trick

u n d o n e u p - d oa random parting, a few loose tendrils left out and a tiny bit of back-brushing on the crown, gently lift the top and sides, ease it all back and hold with an elastic band

s o f t b u n c h e slet hair fall into a natural, off-centre part, then gather the lengths into two ponytails and fasten very loosely with ribbon just below the shoulders

n a t u r a l b o d yor, if your prefer, for an even less laboured look, after hair is set, simply brush out just enough that it looks a little lived-in, being careful to not straighten ends, keeping a few relaxed a curls

maggie may -- certainly :) just take the piece of hair that you've just curled and loosely pin it up so that it is easier to work with a new section to curl -- a large metal salon clip would work -- hope that helps! x

what gorgeous hair she's got..any which way you style it..its beautiful and she's stunning too..thanks for sharing the tips..have a lovely day..do visit a surreal holiday home on my blog when you have a moment! xx meenal

these are wonderful looks + how-to's—thank you for sharing them! I might have to try the slight up-do tomorrow... it's my Mum's Birthday, church and work all in one day, so I think it will be the ideal look :)

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend.

xoxo,Sarah

p.s I came across the most pretty vintage teacup, with a scalloped edge, pearly interior, in pale pink, with gold detailing and wished that I could send it to you...

This is so beautiful and so helpful. Must admit that I'm completely in the dark when it comes to styling my own hair, truly! Each time I try to style, never quite turns out how I imagine or hope so I usually end up wearing it down straight or up in a bun. However this looks possibly doable so I'm going to give it a try! Thank you for sharing and convincing me to put forth a little more effort. It looks gorgeous.
